I did't run any regression test.
The only problem on cygwin is the "E303: Unable to open swap file..."
message.
Looking at vim under the ddd/gdb debugger I found that it
was trying to compose the name of the .swp file concatenating
a posix path with a windows one (that was the result of the
symlink exansion not recognized as an absolute path) so
I patched with cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() and recompiled.
I'm using this version now (just changed the position of the patch
as you suggested) and it works here.

It is not strictly needed because gcc compiled without having this snippet.
Maybe having __CYGWIN__ defined cause the inclusion of sys/cygwin.h
in other place.
But from wath I see that can be useful if you compile from cygwin
to windows native and you want to avoid the inclusion of
cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() when WIN32 is defined.
Maybe the better solution is to avoid mixing different
kind of path instead of patching a symlink that was expanded
as a windows path when it should had be expanded as a posix path.
(my current solution).
